Perserverence

New Tricks

BalanceI've been around the writing block more than once...but I've yet to see my book on a bookshelf.  Why, you might ask?  I've asked myself that question more times than I'd like--and others have asked it of me.  I believe I can string sentences together pretty well; I have a fantastic critque group; I studied the craft.  I've even had a few people credit me with helping them push their way from unsold to sold.  So why haven't I sold a book yet?  And more importantly, why have I kept writing?

There have been times I wanted to quit; times I wondered if it was worth it.  Then I'd dream the stories again and realize, for good or for bad, I'm a storyteller.  I want to share my stories with the world. 

So, what's stopped me?
